Within the framework of research project PRESCIENT, the following tests were performed between April 2014 and May 2015:
- Two-span RC slab substructure with loss of external support (Specimen No.1).
- Two-span RC slab substructure with loss of external support (Specimen No.2).

Prescient project: The contribution and performance of RC slabs in the progressive collapse of structures subjected to accidental loads is investigated via testing a substructure of a two-span slab. A 2/3 scaled RC slab substructure designed according to current code procedures was tested quasi-statically.
